| November 19, 2003 | | Quite often solutions to what seem to be complex problems are a bit simpler than we think. One way to capture great ideas and advice from your employees is to simply ask them. | |
A
company's future, is determined by creativity and innovation, and harnessing the
resourcefulness of people to create new knowledge. -- Denham
Gray
Imagine a
friction-free tool that enables upper management to ask its employees for
advice whenever it was needed. Further, consider the power being able
to ask specific questions to groups of employees who receive the
questions in real-time on the desktops. Then imagine answers flowing back in
real-time to management. Imagine the benefits that accrue to
this method of gauging employee reaction to management's need for guidance
and information.
This concept can be applied to many situations
including the search for ideas, a deeper understanding of operational
realities, and the development of a genuine listening post. Tools like this must
be simple - the question must appear without interrupting the employee, and the
answer must be captured without friction.
I've created
exactly this tool - talk to me if you find this
compelling. | | |
